Cheapest flights from Phoenix in November: or less to these 11 cities

play

Thanksgiving and the start of the winter holiday season will make traveling a little more expensive in November, though cheaper airfares than last year are expected.

New data from Hopper, the travel website that tracks airfares, showed 11 domestic routes out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport with round-trip airfares of $100 or less in November 2024. That’s the same number of routes it tracked below $100 in October 2024.

Prices for plane tickets increase in November before peaking in December as consumer demand shifts to holiday travel, Hopper’s lead economist Hayley Berg said.

Here’s where you can find cheap flights from Phoenix in November 2024.

Is November a cheap month to fly?

November is one of the most expensive months to fly because of high airfare costs in the days before and after Thanksgiving.

Average round-trip airfares in November are $266, which is $13 more than round-trip airfares for October, Berg said in a recent forecast. Still, November airfares this year are 9% lower than average fares in November 2023.

Hopper offered tips for Thanksgiving travelers to save money on flights. These include being flexible with their dates, such as returning on the Tuesday after the holiday instead of the Sunday, booking as early as possible and expanding their flight options by considering alternate airports.

Where is the cheapest place to fly right now?

Hopper expects Las Vegas, a favorite vacation spot for Arizonans, will offer the lowest base round-trip airfares, though at a higher price point than previous months. It forecasts round-trip tickets will be as low as $66 in November.

Most destinations will be more expensive in November. Besides Las Vegas, San Jose, California is the only other destination from Phoenix with base round-trip fares below $70; last month, there were seven places with fares below $70.

The Arizona Republic found base fares advertised between $43 and $63 with ultra-low-cost carrier Frontier Airlines for several dates in November, mostly from Nov. 12-27. Fares ranging from $48 to $68 were available for San Jose flights on most dates before Thanksgiving.

Be aware that ultra-low-cost carriers like Frontier and Spirit charge low base fares with additional fees for seat assignments, carry-on and checked bags and other amenities.
